Re: Hitmod converter for x64 Systems needed

convert your .hit to .h with bin2h or HxD or whatever, then in your build process #include the header as you would with any C program. is that not doable?

Re: USB Development Cartridge for PS1




Hi! @orion
What about in future ?
Possible using modified e.g: Caetla or PAR.rom to using cheat codes and could manage them with savegames etc ?


this is a dev cartridge, not a game cheat cartridge.


How do you get the PSX (I/O) connector?


You can buy them here

Might be an intermittent connection on your parallel port, clean it and make sure it's connecting well.

The connectors are available on aliexpress/digikey etc and require very little modification. Just the angled sides need squaring off and are around 1 USD each on aliexpress or around 6usd on digikey

You can but it would not make any difference. Its not the BIOS that enforces the region lock.

Re: Hi from the UK, just wanted to say hello and thank you

Hi and welcome :)

Fellow UK'er here - t'other side of the Pennines though.

Also worth noting.. if you are finding using the Yaroze setup/boot CD a bit slow - you can kinda work around it using UniROM.

You can UPX LIBPS.EXE down to ~90kb. With unirom you can run LIBPS and let it exit, and then ...

Different speeds and all handshaking lines used make it trickier.

Re: What were PS1 and N64 games written in?

Google around.. there have been reverse engineering projects on some of the tomb raider as well as source leaks (not linking them here).

Most games were written in C with some ASM here and there. N64 was similar.

If you want to see the tools used they used a lot of the standard development kits ...

Re: Newer X-Flash Builds

Not on a psx.

On the Saturn and N64 its common as they use a 16bit bus for the eeprom access - hence two 8 bit chips.

The AR2/GS2 cheat cart designs do have two spaces for them, also LE means it's a 3.3v part which is also uncommon.

This is the last thing I thought it would ever see on running on a PSX.

Re: Newer X-Flash Builds

You know how to use the command prompt?

You just cd to the folder (change directory) and type Nops.

It will tell you the options available and what command switches you need to use.
